Can't install AutoEQ database
Heya,
I have been using jamesdsp for quite a while now on my Debian machine on which it works perfectly fine but today I decided to give Arch Linux a go. The program builds fine from the AUR and runs and the effects work. However when I try to download the AutoEQ database it downloads but that's it. It downloads and then the process just quits. The program itself keeps running fine but the import function just stops and the window with the progress bar closes. No error messages when I start it from the terminal.
Update: I started it from the terminal and found two lines:
QIODevice::read (QFile, "/home/ME/.cache/jamesdsp/autoeq/version.json"): device not open QIODevice::read (QFile, "/home/ME/.cache/jamesdsp/autoeq/index.json"): device not open
So I copied these two .json files from my Debian .cache to my Arch. The result was that it now shows the Equalizers in the database that I have in my Debian but won't load it. When I update my database it is now stuck on the unpacking window and won't proceed. I can't cancel it neither. The only way for it to stop is kill the entire process :/
The same thing happens when I don't have these two files in my .cache but simply start jamesdsp from the terminal. It's stuck on the unpacking and won't proceed. Again: nothing in the terminal output that would give me a hint why it's doing that.
I don't know if this helps, but here's the last few lines of an strace when downloading/decompressing halts...

The good news is it works with flatpak, so you can install from there if you need it, but it looks like the AUR version is broken.
If you just want to make it work right now you need to download the database manually and extract the files.
The latest database can be obtained using this. Search for the package_url - it will be something like https://github.com/ThePBone/AutoEqPackages/raw/main/archive.tar.gz. Download the file from this url and extract to ~/.cache/jamesdsp/autoeq/.
Hello, is this issue fixed as of today? I am having the same problem after building jamesdsp from the AUR, the workaround above does not work for me.

No, it does not. Funny enought I switched back to Debien 13 (LMDE 7) and now it's not working as well. The download starts but it quits right when it starts to extract. Manual download still works.

workaround works just fine. I used the regular package, I don't know about the git
